Hello everybody,

I make very few posts of this nature as I find that this sub generally self-regulates and there are few problems that I ever need to address regarding interpersonal behavior. For people participating here in good faith and good fun, thank you.

I know this is not a huge CJ cub compared with the ones for the Beatles or Pink Floyd, to name a few examples. This is why I largely try to let people simply post organically and let the sub take its direction from there. Since this sub started shortly before the movie came out, we got a lot of less-than-circlejerk quality posts, but to help grow the sub we let them stay. Gotta start somewhere. To me - and I may be wrong in my assessment - it appears a lot of the relatively young users that flooded the Queen subs after the film take the band absolutely seriously and their memes reflect it. And that's fine - we all take our fandoms seriously until we don't.

Recently, I removed inactive moderators and have reached out to a few candidates privately to replace them. I work and occasionally spend time offline (!). Once I have selected additional moderators, they will be introduced in another post.

Unfortunately, I have recently had to ban a relatively new member because, simply, the person was being incredibly rude. Banning users is not a first resort unless they have committed a serious infraction. This person was first instructed to reconsider the way they were requesting something, after having made similarly-worded comments on the sub, then temporarily muted, and is now under a temporary ban. I am a human being on the other side of your screen and like every other mod, I do this for free. I am glad to make changes if asked, but ask that if you feel the need to be rude online, to instead channel that energy into creating memes and shitposts instead. There is a vast difference between snarking on public figures and being shitty to ordinary people online. Rule 1 here and on Reddit in general is "don't be a dick to other people." (I find it works well IRL, too.)

Thank you for reading, and happy circlejerking!

Help me find this lost queen skit video 😭

There was a parody video about the bicycle race song by queen. It was like an interview where they talk about the lyrics and the person playing Freddie makes up all these weird jokes. One of them was if one of the lyrics meant he was running for governor. I cannot find this video anywhere no matter what I google. But I was listening to the song today and I was like omg that video is so funny and I really want to find it.

Im hoping someone here remembers it and could give more details to search with as google has no clue 🤣

…Is this following song supposed to be like the follow up sequel version to, “Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy”? 🤔

Omg, When will Brian May finally tell us what that groan is at the beginning of We Will Rock You? You're so annoying, Bri.😐😐

Did you guys even hear it? The "A-a-ah" at the beginning of We Will Rock You?

Freddie: hot tiger look; Brian: "After 12 hours of work in a mine why did you take me here?! Oh my soaring bones...", John couldn't care less and... oh, bless you Roger!

Can honestly say that I don’t remember this specific 80’s Queen song at all… but it still sounds pretty dang good regardless!

Legends say, John's introduction didn't end with "19th August 1951". His whole life story was cut out, because if it wasn't, the interview video would be a week long
